What I'm looking for

I seek a leadership role where I can drive cloud-native architecture, scale engineering teams, implement DevOps best practices, and align technical strategy with business outcomes.

I am a seasoned software engineering leader with over 8 years of experience delivering web and mobile applications and leading cross-functional teams to high impact outcomes.

I have led and mentored teams of engineers to build scalable SaaS solutions, implemented cloud-native architectures on Azure, and improved deployment efficiency and reliability through DevOps practices.

My accomplishments include reducing technical debt, increasing deployment frequency, improving system uptime, and establishing testing and code review frameworks to decrease post-release defects.

I prioritize talent development, data-driven decision making, security best practices, and close collaboration with product and stakeholders to align technical execution with business goals.
